My life as I know it will change in exactly 10days. And it can't come soon enough! I'm so ready to leave..not neccesarily because I'm sick of this place, I'm more ready to leave, because I'm sick of work and people who are just plain jerks when their coffee is not made "right". Do you, (rude person) work here? Are you a trained Barista? I think not. So shut-up and let me make the drink. (I had a rude customer the other day..and I'm slightly peeved.) Starbucks has a policy of - The Customer is ALWAYS right. Always say Yes.- In some ways, yes that is a good policy to have, but in other ways, that is the worst policy. Customers are NOT always right. They don't always know what they are talking about. They aren't trained. It irritates me, because those who do know the policy will sometimes take advantage of it. And I have no say. I can't say, "you're wrong. It was made to standard. It was made the way you wanted." But, nothings ever good enough for some people. Now, I know that no one is perfect and we all make mistakes. I make mistakes all the time, especially on peoples drinks. (not intentionally) But, that does not give a person a reason to be rude and make another feel like an idiot. It irks me.
I honestly cannot wait to get away from my job. I've never really been one to stay at one place for a long time. I always get bored. Routine is not my cup of tea. I'll miss the people..and the free coffee :o) But, not the "job" itself. haha
Moving on....
YWAM DENVER!!! Yes! I'm so excited! I really cannot wait for this new season to begin. I'm also very nervous. Meeting new people is fun, but it also terrifies me in some ways. Big crowds have never been my favorite, but I know it will be good! I'm excited to see what God is going to do during these 3 months. I really need a fresh encounter with Jesus. My heart has become numb is ways. I've lost the fire and passion...its hard to care about things..spiritually. I don't like it one bit. But, I find it hard to fight it. It's especially difficult to set aside time to be quiet before the Lord. I think living in a community with a set schedule will help out a lot. I've learned the past year that I do not do well on my own. I think I was made to live in a community. :o) So, ywam may become a permanet home. WHO KNOWS!
The other day I was driving to work early in the morning and was listening to David Crowder *Band's version of, "Oh How He Loves" on the radio. It's such a good song! As I was listening it came to the line {and I don't have time to maintain these regrets, when I think about the way You love us.} And at that moment the Holy Spirit just poured Himself over me and I realized, I DON'T have time! It's not worth it! God's love is so much bigger, stronger, and more pure than all my regrets! I just need to look to Him. Gaze upon His face, His love, and His Mercy. That just made my day so much better. :o)
My Jesus is so good. I desire to live in His mercies. Each and every day. Over and over again.

Micha! Wow, what a post - first of all, I'm sorry about the whole work situation and rude customers! I know what that's like and it's NO good! Kinda sucks sometimes when you have to do what the customer wants even though you know it's not how it should be! Secondly! You are leaving in like a week now and I am going to miss you so much. We didn't hang out nearly as often as we should have (or hardly ever) or go to the gym together as much! Dang it! Dang life sometimes is so busy! Well, I will miss you dearly and I'm glad I have the blog to keep up with you on :0) Love ya!
